JOURNALS

Thursday was quite the mixed bag. I was feeling a bit rough from yesterday's headache and lack of sleep, but I managed to get through it by taking things at a slower pace. The first task was catching up with Alex to sort out the daybook project. We've scheduled time after lunch to dive into the details and see who tackles which parts.

I spent the morning warming up the studio with blankets and some good tunes. It's still chilly out there at 7°C, so my aim was to create a cosy and inspiring workspace. The blankets and music made a visible difference.

Lunchtime was a productive hour where I managed to finalize and schedule the newsletter for this evening. Writing the newsletter during a break proved to be a good decision and left me feeling accomplished.

The pen plotter has been busy all day, working on the plot for the "The Sea Howls from the West" project. It's satisfying to see the lines coming together. I haven’t quite pushed my artistic boundaries today, but getting the code to draw accurately made everything worth it.

It's been a day of code cleaning, which I've sort of lost track of at one point. The combination of code changes and the AI question feedback loop is progressing nicely. While I'm not entirely sure how the loop impacts my approach, it's satisfying to know it could soon operate from a server. There's talk about that with Alex tomorrow.

On a more personal note, I'm grateful for the small comforts today. The heated blankets come in clutch, allowing me to stay warm and focused. Credit goes to the pen plotter, which delivered some fine artwork despite the events. Wrapping up, I’m packing up to head home, looking forward to a relaxing evening and hopefully a better night’s sleep.

Reflecting on the day, it’s nice to recall moments like these, where relaxation met creativity, despite starting with a sluggish mood. Here's to more days like this, with warmth, good music, and creative progress.
